Ok, who are "they"? Name names, please. Have you ever been around top-flight anythings? I have, and anyone skilled enough to be top of their profession usually have egos the size of ocean liners, getting them to agree to work on a weapon like flu and not talk about it is more incredible than the idea of weaponizing it in the first place. Getting them to forgo professional jealousy and not let the cat out of the bag is even more unlikely.
If they could figure out how to freeze the flu at a particular point and prevent it from mutating again, they would win the the Nobel prize several times over, as that would be the key to curing many other diseases.
The example of Hussein's use of VX against the Kurds is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. He gassed people far from his own troops, waited til the gas dissipated, then sent in troops. It's a special case that proves the rule. You don't use a weapon that will kill your own guys.
Please, show me the proof of your claims. Name a virologist who works on weaponizing flu, just one. Show me a paper that outlines the basic research that supports the idea. Anything, anything provable. I have an open mind, but not so open my brains are on the floor. All I ask is some verifiable proof.
Twenty more people have died from swine flu in Turkey, bringing the death toll to 60, the Health Ministry reported on its Web site Friday. The ministry also announced that 202 people were hospitalized. Forty of those were in intensive care.
The Iran/ Iraq war in the 1980's saw extensive use of VX and blistering agents. Naming names of bioweapon virologists might be somewhat akin to naming some of our current deep cover CIA agents, huh?

In an epidemic such as this one, the hospitals receive an instruction from their regional health office (via the Ministry of Health) to forward a summary of data for patients who have been identified by a specified set of codes. So all new patient treatments and admissions for those codes get forwarded either to a national collation center, or each region (oblast) receives them for hospitals in their region and then send them on to the national center.
In respect of reporting in such circumstances, doctors who have their own clinics (ie not in hospitals) follow basically the same procedures. They send the data on to their regional office, who then collate it and send it as a master report to the main center. There is likely to be some time lag here in collating the data from the doctors, but it gets there.

You have a nasty habit of topic derailment and with cherry-picking.
I don't see how you can go around only posting news articles to contradict another ATS member when there are many news articles out there to contraidict the ones you cite. Perhaps you rely on news articles too much for information.
Our epidemiological team has completed the data collection phase in the Lviv region and other western Ukrainian oblasts, and we are now analyzing the results. These will be published in our report next week, at the time where our mission will have complete its work here," stated Yukka Pukkile, head of the WHO mission, which is researching the current epidemic situation in Ukraine

very good info and very , very true; got any suggestions on dealing with this? as a small majority still thinks it is about stats and such even to the point of thinking there is no danger to vaccines. I see a lot of not accepting these facts in some posts.
